  This will break a lot of applications.

    This is literally how our corporate network is setup. You MUST be on vpn or you cant get to anything. Makes the access permissions super simple. Prior to this setup there were authorization settings that differed between on-prem/off, on vpn or off, which office you were in, etc. now they just deny all unless you vpn in and then it uses your vpn account to validate access there, in one place. Saved a lot of headaches.

      That is certainly a direction. I hope you have robust redunacies on the concentrator.

        The above is just modern network security. Thr model is called zero trust.

        Zero trust assumes there is no implicit trust granted to assets or user accounts based solely on their physical or network location (i.e., local area networks versus the internet) or based on asset ownership (enterprise or personally owned). Authentication and authorization (both subject and device) are discrete functions performed before a session to an enterprise resource is established. Zero trust is a response to enterprise network trends that include remote users, bring your own device (BYOD), and cloud- based assets that are not located within an enterprise-owned network boundary. Zero trust focus on protecting resources (assets, services, workflows, network accounts, etc.), not network segments, as the network location is no longer seen as the prime component to the security posture of the resource.

        Google pionnered it in the 2010s I believe, but its very common now.

    That really depends on how the VPN is setup and configured on the company side. In our case absolutely nothing breaks and it just works.

  Our VPN gateway is different if you are already on the internal network.
